After the snow, Luoyang seems to be coated with a layer of silver. As the New Year is approaching, lanterns and colorful lights are everywhere, which adds a bit of New Year flavor.
When Qin Ge wrapped up his cloak and sent Sun Jian off to the post house, Jian Shuo had already changed into a bright yellow eunuch uniform and was waiting. Jian Shuo's demeanor in the official uniform was even more extraordinary.
Qin Ge looked at the armor robe on his body and said, "Master Hou, do I also need to change my outfit..."
"This is a private meeting between His Majesty and there is not much formality! General Zhao, General Black Teeth and General Dian should also go together! Let Your Majesty also see the peerless style of the soldiers under the command of Champion Marquis!" Jian Shuo led the way first, leading the four People walked towards the palace.
To be honest, Qin Ge entered the palace for the first time (last time he only went to the Imperial Garden), and it was really eye-opening to have Grandma Liu enter the Grand View Garden.
Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi, and Dian Wei were also shocked and speechless by this magnificent building.
The jade buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, and white marble bricks looked like a fairyland in the clouds against the rising sun after the snow. Jian Shuo led the three of them through the dreamy fairy palace.
Turning around the Imperial Garden, home to exotic flowers and rare animals, it feels like a paradise isolated from the world, busy with palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
At this moment, Jian Shuo, Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi, and Dian Wei stopped almost at the same time.
Qin Ge followed the gazes of the four people and saw a figure turning around the pavilion and walking out, attended by a group of eunuchs and maids.
Qin Ge hurriedly bowed and said: "General Qin Ge! Meet the noble concubine!"
Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi, and Dian Wei followed and bowed. The person who came was none other than He Jin's sister, the imperial concubine He Mi.
At this time, He Mi was wearing a black gauze scarf on her face, and all she could see was her bright phoenix eyes.
Jian Shuo bowed indifferently and stood aside with a blank expression before He Mi could speak.
He Mi's eyes were shining brightly at this time, and she smiled lightly at Qin Ge and said: "Brother has promised Yin'er to you, and the champion is not an outsider, so there is no need to be polite! I asked why Jian Changshi is not in the palace these days. It turns out that We are going to meet the champion!"
Qin Ge stood up and stood aside without answering.
Jian Shuo said with a silent expression: "Your Majesty, I want to meet the champion. We are just slaves. We abide by our dignity. How dare we speculate on the master's holy will!"
He Mi sneered when she heard this, and looked surprised and uncertain when she saw the terrifying power released by Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi and Dian Wei behind Qin Ge.
Qin Ge actually saw the palace maid Bianhua behind He Mi out of the corner of his eye. Qin Ge pretended not to see it.
He Mi looked at Zhao Yun and the others with a cold expression, her face suddenly turned cold, she took two steps forward and approached Qin Ge, her face less than one foot away from Qin Ge.
Shocked, Qin Ge quickly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground. Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi, and Dian Wei also quickly followed Qin Ge and retreated, and their aura suddenly dissipated.
He Mi raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and said: "It seems that the champion still knows the difference between superiority and inferiority, and also knows how to advance and retreat. Okay! Very good! Then leave it to me and listen to the holy will!"
He Mi exuded a mysterious aura as she spoke, like a bottomless black hole, as soon as she approached Qin Ge.
Qin Ge only felt that the energy and energy all over his body was boiling like boiling water, just like snowflakes encountering the scorching sun, and began to leave the body quickly, almost causing Qin Ge to lose his soul in an instant.
If Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi, and Dian Wei hadn't realized Qin Ge's life-and-death danger and released their energy to protect Qin Ge, Qin Ge would have been instantly turned into withered bones even though he was still alive.
The black light in He Mi's eyes flashed away, and her demonic desire field was fatal to men.
Especially since Qin Ge practiced with his refined True Dragon Qi, even his soul was controlled by He Mi. It seemed that the gift of True Dragon Qi from this woman that day was indeed harboring evil intentions.
Qin Ge endured fainting and quickly stopped Zhao Yun, Hei Te Changzhi and Dian Wei.
He Mi couldn't help but take a step back under the murderous intent of the three people. Just now, her demonic desire field was shattered by Zhao Yun's Wind and Thunder Art and Black Teeth Changzhi's Nine Netherworld Qi.
Seeing Zhao Yun and Hei Te Chang standing behind to protect Qin Ge, even at this moment, half of the sky above Luoyang Palace was filled with wind and thunder, and half turned into eternal night in the underworld.
Dian Wei had already released his sinister aura, shattering the white marble floor tiles within a three-foot radius like a ferocious beast, and glared at He Mi fiercely.
He Mi could feel the murderous intent in the eyes of the three people. If Qin Ge hadn't stopped him just now, the three of them would have swarmed up and cut He Mi into pieces.
He Mi glanced at Qin Ge meaningfully, let out a silver bell-like laugh, and turned to leave.
Qin Ge was already sweating profusely and felt as if he was exhausted. He said to himself: "This woman is so scary! No wonder the emperor looks so ghostly!"
Qin Ge finally understood the reason why He Mi gave him the spirit of the true dragon. This woman just wanted to hold him in her hands. Just now she was just a show of force.
"But! Fortunately, Shan De had a backup plan..." Looking sideways at He Mi's swaying figure as she left, a touch of luck flashed in Qin Ge's eyes.
"Is the Champion all right? This bitch is getting more and more wanton. He openly touches the Holy One's people. He is so heartbroken!" A gloomy look flashed in Jian Shuo's eyes.
Qin Ge waved his hand, and his pale face quickly returned to rosy. Just now, Qin Ge felt that he was instantly trapped in a bottomless whirlpool. The energy in his body began to boil, and spewed out from his body crazily. His hard-trained King Kong Prajna's seven rounds of penetration almost collapsed instantly.
However, the Confucianism in the body seemed to be stimulated and moved on its own, protecting the meridians in the body. The seven rounds returned to normal operation, and the essence and spirit absorbed by the demon's desire field were quickly replenished.
Seeing that Qin Ge quickly returned to normal, Jian Shuo also showed shock. He Mi practiced the unheralded secret of the Yin Kui Demon Palace.
The cultivated demon's desire field can kill people invisible, especially since Qin Ge was completely unprepared for her just now. As long as he had the slightest desire, he would be doomed in an instant.
"The techniques practiced by the Holy Sect all use desires as weapons and are practiced by absorbing the desires in the human body, just like the Taoist practice of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Those who cannibalize the same kind are demons. When you meet people from the Holy Sect in the future, you must always stick to it. A moment's carelessness may lead to life or death in an instant!" During this period of time together, Jian Shuo still admired Qin Ge very much, and Jian Shuo was also responsible for inspecting and observing Qin Ge for Liu Hong.
Knowing Liu Hong's plan well, he gave Qin Ge a few instructions and took him to the deep palace.
As a disciple of the Demon Sect, Jian Shuo actually told He Mi's background and how to restrain and deal with the Demon Sect. This surprised Qin Ge. It seemed that Jian Shuo was really loyal to Liu Hong.
When Jian Shuo came to a palace garden, the world suddenly opened up, and he saw that the place was as warm as summer. The rockeries were full of butterflies and flowers everywhere, and the palace maids and eunuchs were playing in the water among the pavilions.
Everyone came to an open-air hot spring bath and saw a naked beauty bathing in the bath.
Qin Ge and others had never seen such a scene before, and they were stunned. This early in the morning, the emperor was showing off his prostitution in daylight. The four of them quickly turned around and exited the bathing place.
"Three generals are waiting outside. Champion, please come with me!" Jian Shuo saw Qin Ge's demeanor and was a bit dumbfounded.
These generals under Qin Ge can be regarded as peerless people who climbed out of the blood sea of the corpse mountain of the national war, so the reaction should not be so big!
Seeing that Qin Ge was hesitant, Jian Shuo urged: "Does the champion want to resist the decree?"
Qin Ge said to the three people behind him: "You guys wait here, I will go in first to face the saint. This is the palace. No matter what happens, you must exercise restraint!"
Hei Te Chang Zhi hurriedly clasped his fists in response, while Zhao Yun lowered his head and said nothing with a gloomy expression. Qin Ge followed Jian Shuo into the bathhouse.
Black-toothed Changzhi saw that Zhao Yun had looked strange since entering the palace, and whispered with his spiritual mind: "Zilong is still angry about the attack on the lord just now?"
Zhao Yun clenched his fists and whispered: "I thought of the Youzhou battlefield, the corpses all over the field, and the countless corpses that died of cold and hunger. Maybe they only needed a mouthful of soup and a piece of clothing to survive, and Is this the highest power center of the Han Dynasty? They are squandering the lives of all living beings in the world! These so-called high-ranking officials and royal relatives who control the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty are a group of greedy evil beasts, and they are the source of the chaos in the world! "
Seeing the nobility and luxury of the royal family and the licentiousness of the emperor's palace simply refreshed Zhao Yun's three views. The morality of loyalty to the emperor taught by his master, if you are loyal to this kind of monarch, it will just make Zhao Yun feel sick!
"Haha! When you meet the lord, you will naturally take him as your standard. You think that all the officials in the world are like him who can give up everything for the country and the people, and eat fine food and clothing with the people to eat chaffy vegetables and luxurious food. But you have to work in the fields in life. Now you should know better what your gun is fighting for!" Hei Te Changzhi patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder. He has much more experience than Zhao Yun, so he is more mature. .
Zhao Yun clenched his fists and remained silent, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
…
In the steaming bathhouse, Qin Ge followed Jian Shuo on the wooden corridor above the bathhouse.
Qin Ge simply closed his eyes and listened to Jian Shuo's footsteps with his ears. As the saying goes, don't look at anything inappropriate. Zhu Jun is a great scholar in etiquette, so Qin Ge naturally abides by Confucian etiquette.
Jian Shuo looked back at Qin Ge's actions and chuckled: "The champion doesn't have to be like this! Your Majesty often summons his cronies to share the joy with his wives and concubines. There are important ministers in the court, representatives of the nobility and even relatives of the emperor!"
When Qin Ge heard this, his views were completely changed. The upper echelons of the damn Han Dynasty were simply beasts, with no sense of propriety, justice, integrity, or human relations between kings and ministers!
Seeing Qin Ge unmoved, he still followed him very cautiously with his eyes closed and his head lowered.
Jian Shuo smiled and said nothing, and soon Qin Ge followed Jian Shuo to a bathhouse. The house was carved from white jade. This kind of jade is used by powerful families to build clan formations to purify the blood of their children and help them practice. , and the bathroom pavilion built with such huge white jade made Qin Ge a little stunned.
This bathroom is the Tsinghua Pool dedicated to the emperor. Only the emperor usually bathes here, and even ordinary concubines have difficulty entering.
At this time, the bloated body of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was lying in the lotus-shaped bath. The spiritual energy spurting from the bath circulated and even transformed into a dragon shadow hovering over the bath.
Jian Shuo directly took off his loose robe, put on a close-fitting bathrobe and knelt behind the emperor to massage him.
Qin Ge was kneeling on the ground, while Liu Hong closed his eyes and enjoyed the hot spring. He slowly opened his bloated eyes, looked at Qin Ge who came with his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "Well! Champion Hou Qin Ge! Although Your strength is still too weak, but from the three generals under your command just now, we can see the invincible military might of the champion! Good! Very good! Qin Ge, do you know that you are the second person to enter Tangquan in this way? Palace, the first one is your teacher Zhu Jun! Looking at you now, I seem to see the teacher back then! Those are really nostalgic years!"
Mentioning Zhu Jun, Qin Ge felt a sense of sadness in his heart. When he returned in triumph in Youzhou, he heard the news of Zhu Jun's death. Qin Ge, a disciple, did not even support his mentor's coffin and express his condolences.
